Bruce Lee's death caused a huge sensation, and under the pressure of great public opinion, the official establishment of the Cause of Death Inquiry Tribunal was set up to try to find out the real cause of Bruce Lee's death."
At 23:30 on July 20, 1973, the popular kung fu superstar and martial arts master Bruce Lee died suddenly, and after a reporter's investigation, it was found that Bruce Lee died in the boudoir of the popular actress Ding Pei, not at home as his family said. So, what exactly did Bruce Lee go through in Ding Pei's house?
The official establishment of the Cause of Death Inquest Court wants to find out the true cause of Bruce Lee's death, but Bruce Lee is an American citizen, is the official practice reasonable? How many untold secrets can be uncovered when officials intervene in the investigation?
01
At that time, Xiang G's Cause of Death Inquiry Court mainly conducted inquiries and determined the factual situation and cause of death in some death cases, such as sudden death, accidental or violent death, and the body was found or transported into the local area. Whenever this happens, the judge may sit with the participation of a jury.
Although Bruce Lee is an American citizen, his place of death is in Xiang G, so Xiang G's official move is reasonable.
Xiang G officials attached great importance to the matter at that time, and usually, the cause of death inquest was 5 jurors, while the Bruce Lee case increased to 9 jurors. From September 3 to 24 of the same year, under the presiding judge Tung Tsing Kwong, the "Bruce Lee Death Inquiry" was conducted for about 7 days at the Second Court of the Magistrates' Office in Tsuen Wan.
The official intervention, coupled with the scandal between Bruce Lee and Ding Pei, the fans' attention to the cause of Bruce Lee's death is unprecedentedly high, and at the same time, there is also dissatisfaction with Ding Pei.
Bruce Lee is already married, his wife is his student Linda, the two have a son and a daughter, a happy marriage, a happy family. Therefore, when Bruce Lee was exposed to die in Ding Peixiang's boudoir, Ding Pei naturally became the target of public criticism. Ding Pei is naturally one of the important figures in this cause of death investigation, so through investigation, can the truth of the cause of death be exposed?
There were about a dozen important witnesses in the death investigation, including Li Zhongchen (Bruce Lee's brother), Zou Wenhuai, Ding Pei, Zhu Bohuai (Ding Pei's personal doctor), senior ambulance officer Peng Desheng, doctors involved in emergency treatment and forensic doctors involved in the investigation of the cause of death. The testimony of Li Zhongchen, Zou Wenhuai and Linda shows that Bruce Lee's emotions and life have been normal recently, there is no reason or tendency to commit suicide, and it is certain that it is not suicide.
The focus of the death investigation is mainly focused on the day of the incident, what exactly happened to Bruce Lee in Ding Pei's house? From the testimony of Ding Pei, Li Zhongchen, and Zou Wenhuai, as well as some facts investigated by reporters, we can outline the general situation on the day of the accident and after death.
02
On the afternoon of July 20, Bruce Lee told Linda that she had made an appointment with Zou Wenhuai in the afternoon to discuss the script of "Game of Death" and might not go home for dinner. Linda says goodbye to Bruce Lee and goes shopping. But Bruce Lee did not mention Ding Pei.
At about two o'clock in the afternoon, Zou Wenhuai went to Bruce Lee's house, and the two left together after discussing the script. Bruce Lee arrived at Ding Pei's house around 4 p.m., because he wanted Ding Pei to play a role in "Game of Death", so he discussed the script with Zou Wenhuai and made an appointment to have dinner together, and also made an appointment with an Australian actor.
Li, Zou, and Ding discussed the script for about two hours, and at about 7 o'clock in the evening, Bruce Lee suddenly felt a severe headache, felt very uncomfortable, and said, "I'm going to die, I don't feel good." Ding Pei also often had headaches, so he took out the painkillers prepared at home and gave Bruce Lee a tablet. After eating, Bruce Lee went to his room to rest. Before resting, Bruce Lee also made an appointment with Zou Wenhuai for dinner time to discuss the script.
At this time, Ding Pei and Zou Wenhuai did not expect that Bruce Lee, who was stronger than a cow, would have physical problems. I also did not expect that this popular kung fu superstar never woke up again after sleeping.
At about eight o'clock, Zou Wenhuai went to pick up the Australian actor and went to the place where he had made an appointment to eat, waiting for Bruce Lee and Ding Pei.
After Zou Wenhuai waited for about half an hour, Ding Pei found that Bruce Lee was sleeping very deeply, and could not bear to wake him up, so he called Zou Wenhuai to let the two of them eat first, and did not wait for her and Bruce Lee.
By about nine o'clock, Bruce Lee had not yet woken up. Then Ding Pei called Zou Wenhuai again, and at about 9:45 Zou Wenhuai came to Ding Pei's house and tried to wake bruce Lee when he saw that bruce Lee, who had not yet woken up, but Bruce Lee did not respond.
After that, Zou Wenhuai pushed Bruce Lee hard and slapped his face with his hand, but these were useless, and Bruce Lee still did not respond. So Ding Pei called her personal doctor, Zhu Bohuai.
At that time, Zhu Bohuai said this in court.
Just a few minutes after about ten o'clock, Zhu Bohuai arrived at Ding Pei's house, and then examined Bruce Lee, who was lying on his side unconscious, no response to how to call, and there was no sign of life, in fact, at this time Zhu Bohuai had already determined that Bruce Lee was dead. Zhu Bohuai tried many ways to restore Bruce Lee's consciousness, but to no avail, and then suggested that he be sent to Elizabeth Hospital for rescue.
Listening to Dr. Zhu Bohuai's advice, Ding Pei and Zou Wenhuai immediately called for emergency care, and in about ten minutes, senior ambulance officer Peng Desheng rushed to Ding Pei's house. Peng Desheng's account of the incident in court is like this.
At 10:37 p.m., Peng Desheng arrived at Ding Pei's residence and found that Bruce Lee was dressed neatly into a coma, breathless and heartbeatless, and immediately gave him artificial respiration and oxygen first aid, which did not play any role, but the first aid still did not stop on the way to the hospital.
After arriving at Mount Elizabeth Hospital, the doctors found that Bruce Lee did not breathe and pulse, and his pupils were dilated, which was theoretically a sign of death. However, the doctor still gave Bruce Lee an intracardiac injection of epinephrine first aid, which was ineffective after the injection.
Later, at 11:30, the hospital officially signed the death certificate, declaring Bruce Lee dead.
03
There are three suspicious points in the interrogation investigation that may be related to Bruce Lee's death.
Dr. Zhu Bohuai mentioned that Ding Pei gave Bruce Lee a painkiller, which is the same as aspirin but has a stronger effect than it. This medicine should not be harmful to the average person, but it may be harmful for people with allergic reactions.
Bruce Lee had signs of illness before he died. On May 10 of the same year, Bruce Lee was found passing out on the floor of the lounge while dubbing Dragon Fight. After Bruce Lee was woken up, he was pale and walked toward the recording studio in a trance, unconscious on the way. After being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, Bruce Lee had a high fever shock in the emergency room, and convulsions.
Bruce Lee woke up and immediately said that he was very close to death, and the doctor at the time also suspected that he might have cerebral edema and suggested a full-body examination.
However, after Bruce Lee recovered, he may feel fine and refused the doctor's examination suggestion.
Third, the forensic autopsy report has such a discovery, Bruce Lee's body memory has a big maˊ a kung fu superstar, how can a public figure of great importance suck the big maˊ? It may be the reason for the arrogance of the personality, coupled with the pressure of work.
So, is this the direct cause of Bruce Lee's death? This is mainly determined by the amount of A smoked. The autopsy found that Bruce Lee's stomach contained 0.5 mg of large maˊ and 0.4 mg of small intestine, which was not enough to kill people. The doctor in charge of the autopsy also proved that this amount was not enough to cause Bruce Lee's death.

Bruce Lee's death inquiry lasted more than two months, and on the morning of September 24, the court made a final ruling.
Presiding Judge Dong Ziguang explained to the jury the focus and course of the case, and then explained several legally defined causes of death.
One is murder, apparently from the facts of the case, there is no indication;
The second is manslaughter, which is also the same as above, and there is no evidence to prove it;
The third is legal killing, Bruce Lee belongs to sudden death, which has nothing to do with this item;
The fourth is suicide, which proves from the testimony of Linda, Zou Wenhuai and Bruce Lee's brother that there is no reason or tendency to commit suicide;
Fifth, natural death, which is also difficult to establish from the comprehensive judgment of anatomical examination and the opinions of some experts;
Sixth, accidental death or death, these two situations are similar, but the cause of the accident is not evidence at all, and the death is more acceptable to the public;
Seventh, the cause of death is unknown, that is, there is no evidence to prove the cause of death.
After careful consideration by the jurors and the exclusion of the other 6 causes of death, the court finally ruled that Bruce Lee died.
This result is obviously not what the public expects, and it is even a little salty, and it has caused dissatisfaction among fans after the results were announced.
In fact, the public believes that bruce Lee's cause of death is not so simple, and there must be some unknown secret in this.
After the results of this unconvincing investigation were announced, people's curiosity about the cause of Bruce Lee's death was further aroused, and rumors spread for a time, and the cause of Bruce Lee's death was even more controversial, and the more it was spread, the more evil it became. This also cast a mysterious veil over Bruce Lee's death.
Twenty years after Bruce Lee's death, his son actually died in a plot he designed, is this a coincidence or a deliberate conspiracy? Is Lee's death a hint?
